"The 2021 vintage was a gift. Only a few vintages every decade combine all the natural elements with the planets aligning to create ‘perfect’ conditions for growing grapes and winemaking. Some call it a Goldilocks vintage ‘not too hot…not too cold but……just right’. Others, ‘a unicorn vintage’ as it is very rare. I call it Eden Valley at its finest." - Winemaker Ben Radford

Carefully matured in 500L French oak barrels, with 25% new wood and the balance, older, more seasoned barrels. Seductive and poised, its only just coming out of it shell after two years in bottle. I am convinced it has a long life ahead, even at this early stage of its development.

96 Points Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Deep red with a trace of purple in the rim and a bouquet of rich blackberry, plum and licorice/star anise shiraz fruit. Developed more spice the longer it aired. The palate is full-bodied and solid, bold and brawny, with masses of firm tannins and a long carry. A touch of alcohol warmth lingers on the aftertaste. Big, bold and concentrated. Oak is subtly played. Excellent now, and will reward cellaring. This really responded to airing." (previous vintage)
